Half an hour later.
In a private booth of a cafe.
Dora stared at Su Lu with admiration on her face, “Su Lu, I had no idea you were so impressive!”
Recalling the scenario from before, the journalist’s eyes sparkled, wishing she could conduct a private interview with Su Lu, she added, “Hmm… you’re just as amazing as my sister!”
Back in the alley behind the bar, he had single-handedly taken down five or six burly men.
Such valor could only be compared with her violent elder sister.
“It was nothing!”
Su Lu replied truthfully; those guys were indeed so weak that they didn’t even give him any experience points.
Perhaps he would have gained some experience if he had killed them all, but how could he dare to act in front of journalist Dora? Murdering them afterward to silence them?
Even though his threshold of acceptability had significantly decreased after experiencing the breakdown of his moral compass, it hadn’t yet reached this point.
Su Lu introspected and sipped his coffee while picking up a sausage to replenish his energy after the fight, then asked, “What about you, Ms. Dora, why are you being pursued by the mafia?”
He guessed it might be due to her professional instincts leading her to trouble.
“Apparently… our newspaper received a whistleblower’s letter regarding a meat tycoon here in Posey Port… I snuck into his factory, you wouldn’t believe how appalling it was… pork was discarded directly onto the floor, sewage water everywhere, a complete absence of quality assurance and purification process… and there were rats! Do you know… if the workers found a dead rat, they just chucked it into the grinder, it became part of the sausage stuffing!”
Dora angrily criticized, her cheeks flushed with indignation, “All these ruthless capitalists should be hung!”
‘I think I’d like to hang you first!’
Su Lu reluctantly stared at the sausage in front of him, eventually let it down: “So… you took photos?”
“Yes, it’s a big scoop, I must expose the truth!” Dora excitedly clenched her fist, “That tycoon has bought off the local newspapers, they’re all advocating for him… but he can’t stretch his influence to other cities! Our editor will be thrilled that I got this explosive story!”
“Yes… Your editor will be thrilled, but I have to remind you, be careful! Both before and after the paper gets published!”
Su Lu completely abandoned his meal, just sipping his coffee.
“I know…”
The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a time before Dora lifted her head with resolve in her eyes, “But if everyone chooses to stay silent, who will uncover the truth?”
Just as Su Lu was touched by her dedication, he heard Dora continue, “Anyway… I have an amazing elder sister who can handle it.”
“I wish you success!”
Su Lu shrugged; his reminding her of the risks was the best he could do given their brief acquaintance.
Moreover, it seemed like she had everything planned out ahead and even had a powerful elder sister to back her.
“Also… thank you!”
Dora sincerely thanked him, “I’m not sure what I would have done without you! Is there any way I can express my gratitude?”
“If you insist…”
Su Lu suddenly had an idea, “Could you possibly do a special interview for someone?”
“Who? I can’t guarantee it can be published!”
Dora responded verbally but was already calculating her available resources in her mind.
Indeed, she must do her best given it’s a rare request from Mr. Pottery!
“It doesn’t matter if it can’t be published… I am particularly interested in a gentleman, but it would be too presumptuous for me to suddenly pay a visit, so I’d like to ask for your help. Can I accompany you as your friend and a folklore enthusiast?”
“Folklore?”
Looking slightly baffled, Dora didn’t expect Su Lu to have such an unusual hobby, “May I ask who you’d like to interview?” “Adventurer, Folklore Scholar… Mr. Kira Gales!” Su Lu said with a smile.
“I’ve heard about the White Bird’s exploration ship!”
Dora instinctively got ready to take out a pen and paper for note-taking, but stopped and laughed, “Sorry… professional habits! An interview like this was already in my plans, is there any other way I can help you?”
She came to Posey Port with the intention to score a big scoop or gather enough interview material.
Now that she got a bombshell news, it would be wise to leave immediately. Interviewing folklore scholars or expedition crew doesn’t attract much attention from readers.
However, in order to repay Su Lu, she decided to help him out.
“Great, let’s set it for three days from now!”
Su Lu agreed on the time and location and politely excused himself to leave.
He had to allot some time to find sources for harvesting experience points!
With the attribute panel, as long as he had enough experience points, even a pig could fly!
Moreover, Mr. Kira Gales isn’t someone who could be met simply by visiting, he must allow some time for Ms. Dora to make the necessary arrangements.
“Alright, goodbye…”
Watching Su Lu’s fading silhouette, Dora felt a sense of regret.
Soon, holding her camera in her hand, she made up her mind to hire a reputable private investigator to send it back as soon as possible.
Additionally, she could ask her elder sister for help!
Well, it’s not that she doesn’t trust Mr. Pottery; it’s just to be safe! Concerning her elder sister, Dora had absolute confidence.
“Well, now we’re back to square one.”
Su Lu was aimlessly wandering around Posey Port, “How can I get enough experience points?”
This topic was a sensitive one; at least before his life is threatened, he wouldn’t perform anything insane.
According to the criteria of the attribute panel, average people don’t serve much use to him now.
However, if it were a strong person – not merely defeating, but killing them might provide a certain amount of experience points.
“So… should I get rid of some notoriously bad gangs?”
Scratching his chin, Su Lu seriously contemplated this working proposal.
Practically, such an action would be risky.
If the gangs are weak, they wouldn’t offer much experience points; on the other hand, if the gangs are too strong… it’s not a certainty that he could handle them!
Most of them carried firearms and possibly even… transcendent beings hidden behind the scenes.
‘Even if I win… if I overdo it, it would draw the attention of the Federation’s law enforcers or church people immediately!’
The White Eagle Federation being able to maintain its status till now indicates the substantial power of its authorities!
If a warrant is put out for his arrest, he wouldn’t enjoy the experience.
Unlike Beryl, Su Lu didn’t have the courage to challenge his limits.
‘Think carefully… this is a time when various supernatural powers are reviving with the approaching dawn of the Gods. There must be opportunities…’ Su Lu looked up at the sky.
Unconsciously, it had become twilight. There were fewer and fewer people around; it seemed he had arrived at the edge of the city.
Nightfall was approaching!
